Editor's Notes
Resp for executing ur apps in the cloudComp serv provides u wit a way to run ur apps on Win Server running in VM hosted in MS DCCompute service is built from one or more roles
A service may run one or more instances of a role Web role – customized for web apps developed in ASP.NET. Run in full IIS7.0, can communicate with worker roles directly or thru queues Worker – useful for generalised dev, typical example is background processing, similar to a batch job or windows service VM – runs a user customized image of the Win server 2008 R2, typically an image of the on-premises win server is made and then transferred to cloud Can build a service with any combination of web and worker rolesCommunicates via HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/IP on ports 80 and 843Tools - ASP.NET, WCF, other .NET tools, Java, Python, Ruby, etc.
Storage Service – persistent, durable storage, needs a storage acc, can obtain it thru management portalBlobs are for unstructuredstorage,like text or binary dataTable- semi structured or tabular data storage, not relational, basic table storage is a set of entities which contains a set of properties for relational u can use SQL AzureQueues Buffered data storage useful when communicating btw worker and web roleDrives are sharable across instances
Wizards - creating subscriptions, servers, and databases
No learning curve neededBased on .NET and VS
All one , contains SDK and tools needed for VS 2010, VS Web DeveloperRequired IIS feature and hot fixesAlso includes emulators for app fabric and storage
